It's an all-time favorite R\/C trainer and sport design. It's fondly remembered because it's so easy to build and gentle to fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur version of the Fifty Six keeps all of the iconic look and great flying characteristics and introduces new, simplified building features as well as laser-cut precision, making this all-time favorite even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image featured\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.oldschoolmodels.com\/images\/fiftysix\/fiftysix-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding the wing and stab are a snap as all of the ribs include tabs which allow you to quickly and precisely align them on your building board.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eDid we say stab ribs?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhy yes we did, as we integrated the original airfoil shaped stab into our design as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8-nu2_CLLs\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fuselage is built around a self-aligning, light-weight box for added strength. Surrounding this is the outer balsa skin which is strong, light-weight and twist resistant. Overall, this balsa\/ply airframe is uncomplicated, lightweight, easy to build, and features precision laser-cut parts that fit together quickly and accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wing is removable the old-school way - using rubber bands (which are included). At first, you might think this is a bit old-fashioned, but it's simply the perfect way to hold the Fifty Six's wing in place. What's more, doing it this way keeps it faithful to the original design, and since the Fifty Six is also a trainer, it gives the wing that extra bit of movement needed to help avoid breakage during those not-so-perfect landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower can come from glow or electric powerplants. We've designed the fuselage with a magnetic top hatch so you have quick access to either your fuel tank or batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HNavbx9z4k\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the air, the Fifty Six is a gentle and forgiving design that makes it the perfect trainer. When flying at slower speeds, it's a great way to relax, shoot touch-n-goes, and enjoy low passes down the runway. But throttle it up a bit, and the Fifty Six is just at home as a barnstormer. Loop it. Roll it. Flip over for some inverted flight. Throw in some hammerhead turns for fun, and you'll enjoy every minute of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor value and features in a great-flying, rugged airplane, your best bet is the OSMW Fifty-Six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Old School Model Work's Fifty Six is a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintagercsociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVintage R\/C Society\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003elegal design for enjoying vintage fly-ins and contests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Fifty-Six was independently reviewed by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfAx6BgoNJXUnMsHNYk0k0g\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMBMrc\u003c\/a\u003e.
